Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.<br> =+x^2+16x +61=0

Vlad1618 [11]

X^2 + 16x + 61 = 0
x^2 + 16x = -61
x^2 + 16x + 64 = -61 + 64
(x + 8)^2 = 3
x + 8 = (+-) sqrt 3
x = -8 (+-) sqrt 3

x = -8 + sqrt 3...and x = -8 - sqrt 3 <== ur solutions

Madison has 64 circles and 96 squares and 48 triangles.What factors do these numbers have in common? A.1,2,4,8,or 16 B.1,2,4,6,1

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of circles = 64

Number of square = 96

Number of triangles = 48

Factor of 64, 96 and 48;

$64=2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2$

$96= 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3$

$48= 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3$

Factors do these numbers have in common are:

64 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

96= 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

48= 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

Common factors = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 =16

Radium 226, which had been used for cancer treatment, decays with a half-life of 1622 years. suppose there is a 6 gram sample of

sveticcg [70]

This is a relatively simple half life calculation.
To go from 6 to 3 grams, 1622 years is required.
3 to 1.5 grams another 1622 years is required.
So, it undergoes exactly 2 half-lives or 3,244 years.
